What is a Class Committee?
Class Committee members are volunteers from each class who gather to enjoy the kind of camaraderie that only Johnnies can share. They work together to connect other classmates to Saint John’s and to each other.
So How Can I Get Involved?
If you’d like to be involved, please contact Thom Woodward, alumni ambassador, 320.363.7303. Over the coming year, our class will be working on supporting the Four Cornerstones of the Alumni Association:
-
Student Recruitment: Asking classmates to refer potential students to the CSB/SJU Admission Office. (To do this, please visit the Online Referral Page.)
-
Student Preparation: Preparing current Johnnies for life after graduation through job placement, internships, and mentoring.
-
Alumni Connections: Enriching the lives of our 20,000 alumni and engaging them in support of the Saint John's community, as well as reconnecting them in the online community or at SJU events.
-
Resource Development: Addressing the financial needs of the SJU community by supporting the Annual Fund or Capital Campaign.
We'd love to see you get involved, so please contact Thom Woodward today. The Class Committee is a great way to get reconnected to Saint John's or to strengthen the connections that you already have.
